The research has been supported through the University of Technology Sydney Green Light Accelerator Program in 2023 and 2024, supporting early-stage innovation and commercial development; the Valerie Taylor Ocean Literacy Prize in 2024 and 2025, supporting ocean science and public engagement; and CSIRO’s Innovate to Grow program in 2026, focused on strengthening R&D capability and research pathways. In 2023, AMOA’s work was also featured in the Science Tent at Splendour in the Grass, bringing the hidden world of microalgae to a wider audience.
Each one has helped push the work a little further, from early ideas and experimentation toward a clearer research direction and stronger evidence for what these remarkable organisms might make possible.
The Green Light Pitch Showcases brought together a cohort of teams developing algae-based innovations for sustainability. Cohorts pitched their prototypes to a live audience, sharing creative solutions to environmental challenges. The event highlighted the power of collaboration and the promise of algae technologies in shaping a greener future.
